Giving With the Right Heart
Giving With The Right Heart Matthew 6:1-4 Proverbs 14:21 “It is a sin to despise one's neighbor, but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy.” Isaiah 58:7 “Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter…” Main Point: As His Disciples Jesus calls us to give to, and help those in need out of a heart of gratitude, and without desire for acclaim. This flows out of the Greatest Commands that Jesus emphasized in Matthew 22:37-39 1. Jesus expects us to give to, and help those in need, as has always been the heart of God. James 1:27 Ephesians 4:28 2. Jesus expects us to give to, and help those in need out of the love God has poured into us! I John 3:16-18
